How it's used
Refers specifically to portable or compact speakers, often those used with computers or mobile devices. The suffix 仔 adds a sense of smallness or cuteness, which is common in Cantonese for miniaturized versions of household objects. It is rarely used for professional audio equipment or large PA systems.
